Bung an engine in, make it 'street legal', and watch the grins on the faces of people as you ride by.

it has been on ebay several times already. From the people I know that know sidecars the comments have not been favorable.

Very cool.--Tempting.
Would be good for just tooling around.
From my experience, if you keep it below 50, it won't make any difference if it's not perfect.

Just the other day I got the urge to start building a sidecar set up like that! If only I had the money! And it was closer and I did not need to finish other stuff...

Heres the another 750 set up that inspired me.

   This pretty much sums it up.   76' CB592 cafe. 69 750 project, 03 CBR954, 75 750 super sport.

That was my first thought too! We're thinking alike; I suggest medication.



Seriously, I can't wait until some nutter here builds one for the street. That green 'Street-Legal Prayer Rug' is just insane. I'd love a closer look.

Does the riders ankle rest on a peg of some sort?  Seems a brutal right angle.

Looks like the platform is padded... other than that I don't think so. Look at the head on picture - I cannot see anything except padding and frame.

That is too kewl.  I used to like to watch that stuff on tv when I was a kid.

Used to weld two bicycles together to make a sidecar when I was 12 and 13.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.
